Tanya Cross
Director & Sharer of Ingenious Insights
My Name Is Tanya Cross.
(AKA Tanya x)
I’m Sydney based, living in this beautiful city with my daughter.
I’m a counsellor, coach, speaker and at times, a socially awkward human. I love going down the rabbit hole of human behaviour and potential. It’s layers of complexities are fascinating.
Since starting my practice in 2010, I’ve been fortunate to have built worldwide private and group coaching businesses. I’ve been blessed to work with entrepreneurs, educators, coaches, consultants, leaders of industries and CEO’s of multinational companies who are inspired to use mindset as their secret wisdom to success.
I’ve helped business leaders sign millions of dollars of deals, feel more purposeful, deal with divorces (and the messy kind of ones), navigate the complex dynamic in board meetings to help the single mum grow to a multi 6 figure business without having to work crazy hours.
That’s why I created Maximum Growth.
Because I realized that I am only one individual. And my time is limited. I brought Justin on as a partner in Maximum Growth in 2023 because he’s the perfect complimentary opposite in business to help us to smash through our own growth ceilings. I wanted to be able to maximise my reach and help more people like you.

Looking forward to seeing you on the inside,

Justin Wiseman
Director & Share of Interesting Ideas
My name is Justin Wiseman.
I’m based in Victoria, Australia, and I love spending my spare time with my partner and kids. I’m a business owner, coach and lover of human behaviour, performance and growth, especially when it comes to growing businesses and personal performance.
I started my personal journey wayyyy back when I had a methamphetamine addiction, and I took control of myself and my mind to overcome it myself. Since then, I have been obsessed with studying human behaviour and psychology and applying what I learn to grow myself, my teams (past and current) and my clients.
I’ve helped my own other business increase revenue through maximising team and sales performance, helped take businesses to past seven figures, and set the leader’s personal foundations (values, mission and purpose) to help create life and business alignment to help these leaders breakthrough everything from financial blocks to intimate relationship challenges.
I am currently a Director of 3 companies, two in hospitality and 2 in personal growth. I came on board to Maximum Growth with Tan in 2023 after spending the last 2.5 years in Maximum Growth. After witnessing my transformations in business and my personal relationships, having my first 6 figure weeks and 6 figure months, as well as being the closest to my wife I have ever been because of the Maximum Growth Containers I had to be a part of getting Maximum Growth’s work to the world.
I look forward to meeting you, connecting with you, helping you become who you truly are and reaching what you know is possible and beyond for you.
Much love,
Justin
Kimi Labao
Member Manager
Hey! I’m Kimi, but you can call me Kim if you want.
A little about me? I have two adorable little ones who keep my world spinning, and when I’m not chasing them around, I’m lost in a book. Reading is my escape, my adventure, my way of stepping into a thousand different lives without leaving my cozy little corner.
I have a deep love for the color black. It’s classic, bold, and has a quiet strength to it, just like I try to carry in life. My journey has been filled with twists and turns, and I’m in the process of healing. Life has its share of challenges, but I’ve learned to find the magic even in the messy parts. Every step, even the hard ones, has led me to Maximum Growth. It’s not just a destination but a path of transformation that aligns with my pursuit of healing and growth.
To healing,
Kimi L
Vernice Lat
Video Editor & Content Creator
My name is Vernice Angelica Lat, the seventh of eight siblings, raised in a family of hardworking vendors. My parents built a life for us through buy-and-sell, teaching us resilience and determination.
Growing up, I was surrounded by people working tirelessly to provide for their families. Life was always moving, always demanding, but it was also filled with love.
For years, I never imagined stepping beyond my comfort zone. But becoming a mother changed everything. They say we give life to our children, but the truth is, they gave life to us. They became my purpose, my strength, and the reason I dared to try something new.
Being part of Maximum Growth gave me the opportunity to feel secure with both the company and my clients, something I’ve only experienced with a few.
For now, I am very grateful for where I am and excited for what’s ahead. I believe everything happens for a reason, and when the right opportunity comes, we just have to be brave enough to take it.

We Are Smashing Through Growth Ceilings
Here at Maximum Growth you learn to apply quality questions to your personal and professional life to level up and smash through your growth ceiling to increase your income, influence and income (while having a life too!).
Here is what I believe;
- Small steps repeated regularly take you further than big steps taken occasionally.
- Consistency is key.
- Not pretending things are ok, if they really aren’t (because then you can make a change).
- Progress, not perfection (unless it’s the universal kind).
- The transformative power within you while having a community that you belong to (because we are not just a company, we are a community).
- And most of all, I believe. . . in you.
How We Got To Where We Are Today
Explore Our Milestones And See How It All Began
The Beginning
MAY 2007 – FEBRUARY 2011
Tanya felt deep inside she wanted to make an impact on this planet but being quiet (and slightly awkward socially) she questioned how this could be possible.
Early Success
MAY 2011
After attending Dr John Demartini’s Privileged Life and Leadership Program on The World, Tanya realised that she had found what she loved to do with her career and life and was ready to share it with the world. Within the first 12 months of business, Tanya became a lead facilitator at the Breakthrough Experience with Dr John Demartini and landed a speaking opportunity alongside Dr John Gray in an online relationships program.
JANUARY 2012
Tanya travelled to Charlottetown in Canada to complete her placement for her Bachelor of Applied Social Science majoring in crisis counselling with Ken Peirce, a Psychologist and Master Certified Demartini Method Facilitator.
Bigger Ideas
FEBRUARY 2013
Tanya landed the opportunity to present Breakthrough Integration Day, a follow up program to The Breakthrough Experience with Dr Demartini in Australia. She presented fortnightly webinars on a variety of topics from leadership, increasing wealth, discovering your purpose, how to have a deeper relationship and more connected family life to determining your values, and much more, sharing ideas with the world.
Bigger Income
JANUARY 2014
After lots of grinding on the pavement and reinvesting in her own personal development and education, Tanya’s net profit easily surpassed six figures and not long until she was double six figures.
SEPTEMBER 2014
Tanya became the first Master Certified Demartini Method Facilitator in Australia and 7th in the world. She began managing the Facilitators Australia and leading the team of Facilitators at the Breakthrough Experience throughout Australia only after 4.5 years in the work.
Bigger Inspiration
OCTOBER 2015
After a rough divorce, ill health, and other personal challenges, Tanya felt as a leader in the personal development arena, very alone in her difficulties and fell into a deep dark spiral. She had lost a sense of herself in the personal development world.
This led her to walk the Camino de Compostela, 1000km in Spain for 35 days. This was a turning point that changed the course of her life.
Walking helped gain more clairy of her mission, and more certainty in her direction by realising the importance of showing up real (and sometimes raw) in the personal development arena. And that no matter where you are in your world, you can’t escape yourself, nor your purpose. For Tanya, that is counselling and coaching people in leading themselves and their business.
Sharing The Inspiration
JANUARY – JULY 2016
Tanya continued to travel Australia presenting her signature program Awaken The Leader Within. She has a soft spot to help youth, and presented a session for youth affected by suicide as well as speaking at Empower You, a youth program with Brent Williams.
Even Bigger Inspiration
FEBRUARY 2017
You never land an opportunity you are not ready for. Tanya was invited by Dr Demartini to present the Demartini Method at Breakthrough Experience in Australia throughout 2017.
Bigger Impact
JANUARY 2019
In 2019, Tanya became the first Global Facilitator Manager with the Demartini Institute and taught the Facilitators the Demartini Method. Throughout the year, she co-created iFacilitate, a hub for facilitators to understand how to become certified and join the team of facilitators at an upcoming Breakthrough Experience.
That year, Tanya took on one of the most important roles of her life, being a mum to a precious little one. She wanted to be able to be a mum and continue her career so she continued to travel and work, with her daughter alongside her (‘aloha world’).
Our Founding
MARCH 2020
Maximum Growth was founded by Tanya Cross in 2020. It was created from two of Tanya’s greatest challenges and one major world challenge.
The first was being alone as a leader in the darkest time and feeling like there wasn’t someone there to ask for help and the second, how to scale her business and continue doing what she loves while having space and time to raise her daughter. The global pandemic and no one has to explain that dynamic (you get it).
Tanya is one of a very few people who have completed, on average, one line of the Demartini Method for 12 years and continues to apply the work (and counting).
Tanya’s life has demonstrated a desire to continue to level up in her leadership while having a genuine drive to help people. She is inspired to lead the leaders of companies and communities to create their own inspiring impact on humanity.
Us Growing
FEBRUARY 2023
Tanya went into partnership with Justin Wiseman to help make a bigger impact with more inspiration to the community.
Justin has been dedicated to his own personal and professional development for over 28 years. He is a High Performance coach and business owner who specialises in human performance and business growth. He currently owns 3 businesses and loves the challenges of it, he has built a mindset for growth.
Teamed with Tanya, who is system and process focused, we are smashing through growth ceilings in business and bringing more heart and insights to the world.
